Composer does not install the magento core package

[timmtim]

In my composer.json file i have listed the magento/core package as a dependency for my project. I use version 2.1.1 of the magento-composer-installer. Last week i tried to do a clean deploy of the project using composer. The magento 1.9 package is downloaded to the vendor folder, but is not "deployed" into the magento web folder. I know for sure that this has worked in the past. What is de correct procedure on this?

[Flyingmana]

could you post a minimal composer.json to reproduce this problem, so I can try to debug it?

Hope you can help. I tried everything.

[Flyingmana]

looks like you did not specify a version of the installer, try to require version 2.* of the installer and try again.

[ottosmittenaar]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick reply. I normally use:

"magento-hackathon/magento-composer-installer" : "~2.1"

I wanted to try the latest version, than it is not working. I have a lot of issue to fully assemble everything te right way. Thats why I wanted to test the latest version.

Best regards, Otto Smittenaar

[Flyingmana]

the last version (3.0.x) does not support the core package.

It may get added again, if someone contributes it in a way so it works with the other features, or if someone is willing to provide some budget. Or people start to use a dedicated installer just for the core, like for example https://github.com/AydinHassan/magento-core-composer-installer

[ottosmittenaar]

Okey, clear.

I'm getting used to composer as a user. I do not yet understand the programming side of composer, yet. I will have a look at the https://github.com/AydinHassan/magento-core-composer-installer.

Thanks again for the quick feedback.

[floodedcodeboy]

@Flyingmana ... is it possible to use both this and AydinHassan/magento-core-composer-installer packages together?

[AydinHassan]

@floodedcodeboy yes it is :)

[Flyingmana]

I assume this Issue is solved? or anyone can still reproduce there is a problem for 2.x?

[razbakov]

@Flyingmana why don't we add magento-core installer?

[Flyingmana]

@razbakov which one? With which features?

[razbakov]

I added magento 1.9.2.0 to firegento/magento repo and I wanted to test it,

but 1) it doesn’t work with extra.map in composer.json 2) I don’t think cp -R magento magento is a good solution here 3) I used modman file in kirchbergerknorr/magento and it worked well, but I also don’t like this approach as well

any other idea how should we do that?

[Flyingmana]

They decided for type "magento-core" which is not supported by our plugin. I recommend to use the plugin mentioned in our readme.

You could also overwrite the package definition with another type but same source paths, then extra.map should work, too.
